U.S. and China Presidents meet before the Group of 20
Ahead of the G-20 summit, President Barack Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao will meet for the first time today. This meeting comes in the midst of increased tensions between China and the U.S. amid economic tensions. They are planning to discuss a global economic crisis each is trying to combat with policies that may further complicate U.S.-China relations. For more on this meeting, we are joined by Bill Emmott, the former editor of The Economist and the author of Rivals: How the Power Struggle Between China, India and Japan will Shape our Next Decade.
